Young girl bursts into tears after getting paired with Russell Westbrook at holiday shopping outing

One thing that we all know about the Thunder franchise is that they are one with the greater Oklahoma City community. This is certainly apparent during times of catastrophe and during the holidays.

Fortunately, in this instance, we are talking about the holidays. For the past 10 years, the Thunder put on an event that they call the Holiday Assist shopping day.

With Christmas coming up, on Monday, the Thunder organization took children shopping at a local Target. The team paired players up with individual children and bought them some gifts, which is obviously awesome.

The young girl that was paired up with Russell Westbrook, though, couldn’t contain herself.

The event was certainly heartwarming, but again, this is nothing new as it relates to the Thunder. We’ll assume that the tears were tears of joy and not that the young person in this case was hoping to be paired up with Steven Adams or Billy Donovan instead of the league’s reigning MVP.
